To aZZ whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, GEORGE DWIGHT CLARK, a citizen of the United States,residing at Plainville, county of Hartford, and State of Connecticut,have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Sash-Cord Guides,of

M3" invention relates to improvements in provements aresimplicityand'economy in efficient is aside elevation of m y' sash cordguide. Fig.

the black from which I make said frame. Fig.

The pulley A and its axle pin 5 may be, of any ordinary construction.The axle pin is from a sheet metal blank cut out in substan tiallytheform shown in Fig. 4 and bent up into the form shown in Figs. 1, 2 and3. The middle portion of this blank is slotted longiin the blankopposite the ends of said opening is trimmed to the proper form andwidth as at. 7 7 to form the ends of the face plate 8 On each side ofthe middle portion of said blank I form a Wing 8 for forming the sidesor checks 9 of the frame- The ends of these wings project beyond theirjunction with the middle portion of the blank thereby forming the slots10 and free ends 11 for forming the top and bottom sides 13 of the framein connection with the vertical sides. Suitable perforations 12 are madeto receive the axle pin 5. The blank thus formed is bent by doubling themetal upon itself along the broken lines of Fig.4 which define thelongiwith a reverse bend on the dotted lines in said Fig. 4. to bringthe cheeks or vertical sides 9 The free cheeks and the face plate maybeextended farther up ordown withreference to the opening in the faceplate. shown such a modification which consists substantially inmerelyomitting the free ends 11 from the blank and consequently omittingthe top and bottom sides 13 from the frame, the general constructionremaining the same as first described.

By' my invention I form the face plate and sides of the frame of sheetmetal in a simple and inexpensive manner. It should also be noted thatthe vertical sides or checks 9 9, are set infrom the folded longitudinaledges of the face plate so that the projecting face plate may cover. theentire month of the mortise, the same as it does in a frame'in which theIn Figs.5 and BI have projecting edge of the face plate consists of asingle thickness of sheet metal. By this construction, the face plate bythe sides of the pulley opening, where it is generally the weakest, isvery much strengthened.

I claim as my invention- 1. The herein described frame for a sash cordguide consisting of the face plate 8 and sides or checks '9 formed ofsheet metal, with the metal at the longitudinal edges of the face platedoubled upon itself and projecting laterally beyond the side surface ofsaid cheeks substantially as described and for the purpose specified.

2. The herein described frame for a sash cord guide consisting of theface plate 8, sides or checks 9, and top and bottom sides 13, formed ofsheet metal with the metal at the longitudinal edges of the face platedoubled upon-itself while the top and bottom sides are turned inwardlyfrom free ends of the cheeks above and below said doublededgcs,substantially as described and for the purpose specified.
